DNS settings for individual accounts: what's the TXT format
Published
The instructions for Step 2 tell me to made a TXT record in the DNS settings and
- Add a "Hostname" entry containing the first part of the key (6) (see Figure 2).
- Create a "Target" entry and insert the second part of the key (7) (see Figure 2).
How is this supposed to look like? Do I have to make two DNS entries? Is "Hostname" supposed to be the name of one entry and "Target" of the second?
And which part of the key is second part? Does the IN TXT bit count or not?
The same problem

When you try to create an alias for your custom domain the page will show you what the TXT record should look like. An example here: https://kb.mailbox.org/static/en_mbo_neu/115650081.png
And there are some examples in their KB.
The TXT is the record type that you have to select.

Well, I've tried:
Using Hostname/Target as titles for the DNS TXT record and entering the values in the text
I've tried entering the values in a single DNS record and in two separate ones
I've tried entering "Hostname=key1 Target=key2"
I've tried entering "Hostname=key1 Target=IN TXT key2"
None of it works.
This is a very annoying start.

To mean "name the TXT record with the first part of the key and then add the part after IN TXT as the contents"https://community.cloudflare.com/t/unable-to-setup-dns-txt-records-for-a-custom-inbox-domain-on-mailbox-org/886500/2?u=jcdent
You should really clear up the instructions in the support section because I would have never read

Agreed.. The instructions in https://kb.mailbox.org/en/private/custom-domains/using-emails-with-a-custom-domain/ are really quite bad.. What are all the red dots with numbers inside referring to in the text? There s only notation in the text for red dot numbers 1 and 2. The rest of the red bubbled numbers have no reference in the text. The reader is left to guess what they mean. This is standard practice in written instructions.
